Having not had an XP PC for a while now, my Bentley manual has been "retired" (hibernated).
But last night I installed Oracle Virtualbox and XP within it then fired up Bentley for the D2 S8. Today I'll be retrieving a proper XP machine so that I can print everything off easily, but in summary it says: 1. Remove Left Transmission Support complete (do not separate mount and support) 3. Disconnect F125 and pull off shaft 4. Attach replacement, with several notes on alignment, centring, not tilting, not forcing etc. 5. Reinstall Left Transmission Support There are torque figures for all: F125 to transmission - 8Nm Transmission support to transmission - 42Nm Transmission mounting to subframe - 40Nm It also clarifies that if ONLY one Support is removed the other will suffice to hold the transmission in place, otherwise you need a lift under it (VAG1383A) I think, as the Audipages document makes clear that's a lot worse than it sounds!

One of the major issues as the Audipages "how-to" points out and my garage found is getting clearance from the exhaust to get access to some of the bolts. It requires some brute force.

 The bolt behind the downpipe is going to require a special took I think. Its actually not that painful to move that downpipe on mine as I have the SAI removed so I can get to the top manifold bolt, but on a stock car you'd really want to do it without moving the downpipe so you need a super-short T27 I think. As the Titanic is still on the lift (don't ask) I can't check for a week or two so I'm just going to have to live with it on mine for a bit

 I've printed off the Audipages guide to give to the garage on Friday, along with Bentley.

 he was quickly put right by the senior guy. The Audipages guide certainly makes it clear in step 6 that the transmission needs supporting with a jack. I attach a pdf precis of the guide which I made which cuts it down to 8 pages and easier for printing. All steps are there, its just resized the pictures and cut out some introductory waffle. I also changed it to reflect the 10pin rectangular plug on the later cars although the picture still shows the 8 pin round one.

Thanks David, I had already annotated my printout accordingly, though I think they do actually know where it is.

Just a little footnote.
Having set up Bentley inside XP inside Oracle Virtualbox I remembered that long ago some kind person here (sorry but I've forgotten who!) gave me a copy of Elsawin (v3.60?) running inside an older version of Virtualbox. To my shame I'd never really delved into it and with PC changes and upgrading to W10 never reloaded it. So I found it, copied the virtual disk file (.vdi) across and quickly set up a second virtual PC to run it. Works a treat. (Just need to put it on the laptop now, alongside VCDS and Bentley, and learn how to use it) The point of this is (finally) that I then looked up, in Elsawin, the procedure for replacing the F125 switch. And sadly (but not surprisingly) it's exactly the same, and just as brief, as in Bentley.
